News and Notes

Nov 3
Jones-Drew went off for 177 yards and two touchdowns on just eight carries during Sunday's loss to the Titans. Recommendation: Jones-Drew had runs of 80 and 79 yards, but wasn't involved in the passing game as he only had one reception. Jacksonville was only down 13-7 at halftime, so head coach Jack Del Rio's strategy of 29 passes against just eight Jones-Drew rushes has to be questioned. After gaining a productive 178 yards and three touchdowns on 38 touches in a Week 6 win against the Rams, Jones-Drew received just nine touches in Sunday's loss. |

RB Maurice Jones-Drew said he wanted the ball more before the Rams game and the Jaguars gave it to him as he ran 33 times for 133 yards. But the Jaguars reverted to their old ways against the Titans when he had just eight carries. He still managed 177 yards because he ripped off touchdown runs of 80 and 79 yards. David Garrard has now been told to limit his checks out of running plays so Jones-Drew gets more carries. |

Jones-Drew scored from 80 and 79 yards out and totaled 177 yards on just eight carries Sunday, but the Jaguars lost 30-13 on the road to the previously winless Titans. Advice: It's the second straight 100-yard game for Jones-Drew, who is one of the few fantasy bright spots on an otherwise dismal Jacksonville team. Jones-Drew leads the NFL with 10 rushing touchdowns, three shy of his career high. |
